How do accents and dialects change on the longest continuous train journey in Britain?
In A Journey We jump on board in Aberdeen in the early morning and arrive late in the evening in Penzance over 600 miles away.

So, off to Norwich to collect my Alfa. I found a first class ticket cost £6 more than cattle class and thought I'd catch up with my reading. My choice, a thick tome on heather, a plant type I hoped to plant in my garden as ground cover to replace the nettles. Lots of pics, plenty of info...
Episode two of three (I haven't seen episode one yet).
I don't watch much television, but I really enjoyed this program and doubt anyone but the BBC could produce this. Fascinating. :thumb: LINK.
I'd love to visit India one day. I love the people and the food, but I'm not sure I could hack it...
I Have two surplus tickets for the Real Ale Train that runs between Alton and Alresford on the Watercress line (steam locos) for this Saturday 11th October. Face value is £15 each which includes the first pint from memory, and then it's only £2 a pint thereafter! Leaves Alton at 7.20pm and...

I've noticed that my R230 (Automatic) has developed a bit of vibration when putting in gear and pulling away:
Put it in drive and move off - very brief and slight vibration
Put in reverse and move off - very brief and slight vibration
Nothing noted during normal driving.
Is this a sign...
Daughter has outgrown the table - she is into more girly toys now.
I get about so may be able to deliver, or alternatively there is always the MBclub Courier network....

This is amazing cctv footage of a baby whose pram falls of the platform onto the rails and get hits by an incoming train at Melbourne station. I'm glad the baby is fine but hope they charge the mother with neglect
Full details and footage HERE (Could be disturbing for some!)

I just bought a 2004 Viano 3.0 petrol Trend long with 85km on the clock. When going up hills there is quite a bit of drive train vibration / juddering. It judders a bit less if I select a lower gear. When driving on level roads, the drive train seems normal with just a bit of whine

Driving home from Derby on the M1 today I passed a train (on a low loader). There was a support van just behind the transporter with an electronic roof display showing "Paranormal load". The train didn't look that spooky.
Travelling home from Central London last night made me think of the journey as a whole.
Over 100 miles in 1hr, 20 minutes just wafting along was quite some achievement I thought, especially as we made a couple of stops on route.
It made me think of the power involved in getting the train to...
Normally, Waterloo to Martins Heron ... 1 hour 5 mins.
Tonight ... 3.5 hours.
Waterloo to Staines (maybe 2/3 of the way home). Train terminates there.
Get off, take train from Staines to Windsor & Eton Riverside.
Get off, walk through town centre to main Windsor station.
